Unfortunately we didn’t actually tell kids that when they were in high school so they could have made different choices. I fear that old people will be used for fuel when these kids eventually get to reigns of power,
I think the Boomers and hippies, not the ones who have held the country together. I don’t think genocide against the old to turn them into soylent green, but I think that once the non-hippie generation gets into power, things are going to be flipped around. I was once in therapy and the volunteer psychologist told me that he (and this is how he viewed me too) that he isn’t going to choose a mate just out of romance, but pragmatic reasons. I think the coming generation is going to be very pragmatic, not idealistic.
